Chapter 705
“It’s a bit too sweet.” He furrowed his brows slightly, then smiled and said, “But you women probably like it a lot. Are you sure you don’t want to try it? It’s your favorite flavor p>
He seemed like a salesman who wouldn’t rest until he’d convinced her to take the ice cream. Handing her an unopened pack, his voice was low and full of seduction, “Scarlett, give it a try. I promise you won’t regret it after tasting it p>
A perfectly normal sentence, yet coming from his mouth, it seemed to carry another meaning.
Scarlett Yates’s face flushed immediately.
Her heart raced wildly for a few beats. She abruptly stood up, her eyes slightly panicked, “Why hasn’t George arrived yet? How much longer do I have to wait p>
The sky was gradually darkening.
During her blind date with Nash Collins, it wasn’t dark yet.
But now p>
Through the living room’s floor-to-ceiling windows, one could see that in half an hour, it would be completely dark.
Nighttime, old flames, a man and a woman alone in a room p>
Just these few pieces of information were enough to let one’s imagination run wild.
“Are you afraid?” Matthew Saxon stood up as well.
This guy’s height was nearly six feet tall, with a build that appeared slender in clothes but solid when undressed. Standing in front of Scarlett Yates, he exuded a strong presence.
Scarlett’s heart raced wildly a few more times. She tightened her breath, her heart trembling intensely, “It’s getting late. If George doesn’t show up soon, I think I should head back first p>
Matthew Saxon pretended to look at his watch, his smile faint, “Maybe he’s caught in traffic. Just wait a little longer; he’ll be here soon p>
“But… I want to go back.” Looking at the pair of gray house slippers under her feet, Scarlett’s face heated up.
She hadn’t noticed earlier. The pink slippers on her feet were a pair with the ones Matthew Saxon was wearing.
Matthew’s slippers had a groom pattern on them, while hers had a bride pattern.
She didn’t know who picked out these slippers. If it was Matthew p>
This thought lingered in her mind for just a few seconds before she dismissed it.
Matthew Saxon wasn’t the type to leisurely choose slippers. It was likely his assistant who picked them out, and judging by the style, it was probably a female assistant.
“Why is your face so red?” The deep, seductive voice was near her ear, as if he was speaking right next to it.
Warm breath spread across her forehead.
Looking up, Matthew Saxon’s long, alluring eyes held a smile of enchantment, his gaze scorching as he looked at her.
Scarlett Yates’s eyes flashed with a hint of panic, “I really need to go p>
If she continued staying alone with him, she felt it would be very dangerous.
“Don’t go.” Matthew Saxon sighed softly, blocking her escape. With a sweep of his long arms, he pulled her into his embrace, “Scarlett, stay by my side. Don’t leave again p>
His voice seemed like a sigh, “Have you misunderstood me for so long, and do you want to continue this misunderstanding p>
“It’s impossible for us to be together.” Her heart was in chaos. She wanted to push him away but found she had no strength in her hands.
The familiar scent of musk enveloped her, making her dizzy.
In Matthew Saxon’s embrace, it felt like he had a furnace in his chest. Her head was pressed against his chest, its scalding heat surprised her.
She thought only her heart was beating erratically and fast, but upon hearing the powerful heartbeat from his chest, she realized he was just like her.
